Plesk for Windows automatically installs the MailEnable email program by default.
The version of MailEnable installed by Plesk has a critical security vulnerability that could allow a remote attacker access to your server. You must download the hotfix and patch the MailEnable program that was shipped with Plesk, as soon as possible, to prevent any issues with your Windows Dedicated or Virtual Dedicated server.
To Apply the MailEnable Hotfix
- Log in to your Windows server using Remote Desktop Connection. See Accessing Your Windows Dedicated Server using Remote Desktop Connection or Accessing Your Virtual Dedicated Server Using Remote Desktop Connection for details.
- Download and install the MailEnable Core Services Security Update.
- If you receive a warning regarding downloading a file from a site that is not one of your Trusted Sites, click Add and uncheck Requires server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone., click Add, and then click Close.
- Return to Internet Explorer, type http://mailenable.com/hotfix/ME-10027.EXE in the Address field again, and then click Go.
- Click Run when you are prompted to run or save the file.
- Complete the installation process, keeping the default settings.
